Because I'm a girl
I can't go out shirtless
Because it's illegal.?//
Because I'm a girl
I can't ask a boy out
Without being judged//
Because I'm a girl
I will only make seventy-five cents to every dollar a man does//
Because I'm a girl
I can't make my own decisions
Without being called names//
Because I'm a girl
It's ok for me to get harassed because
"Boys will be boys"//
Because I'm a girl
I'm doomed to an eternity of being told
"Shut up & make me a sandwich"//
Because I'm a girl
I need to be constantly
On guard against guys//
Because I'm a girl
Am I automatically weak?!
But one kick and any of you are down//
Because I am a girl
I am less than you?
I am powerless?!//
Because I'm a girl//
I am not scared to beat the shit
Out of any guy who thinks that
I am nothing
Because I am a girl.//
